Graduate work Émile Zola and the movie adaptation of "Thérèse Raquin" deals with the comparison of the famous book by Emile Zole Thérèse Raquin, published in 1867, and Marcela Carné's Thérèse Raquin film, which was released in 1953. After presenting the book and the film, and after a short analysis of the two, we will make a detailed analysis of the popular scenes from the movie that we will try to link to different quotations from the book. Through a detailed comparison of the scenes from the film and parts of the book, we will be able to draw parallels between the main characters, their differences and the similarities between the original text and the adaptation. In addition to this, we will mention Marcel Carné, the famous French director, and address the characteristics of the film adaptation itself. At the end of the work, the most important difference between the book and the film adaptation will be summarized.
